[PATCH] clk: Reorder fields in 'struct clk_fractional_divider'

From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Fri Feb 17 2023 - 10:57:15 EST


Group some variables based on their sizes to reduce hole and avoid padding.
On x86_64, this shrinks the size of 'struct clk_fractional_divider'
from 72 to 64 bytes.

It saves a few bytes of memory when the structure is kzalloc()'ed.

Using pahole

Before:
======
struct clk_fractional_divider {
struct clk_hw hw; /* 0 24 */
void * reg; /* 24 8 */
u8 mshift; /* 32 1 */
u8 mwidth; /* 33 1 */

/* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */

u32 mmask; /* 36 4 */
u8 nshift; /* 40 1 */
u8 nwidth; /* 41 1 */

/* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */

u32 nmask; /* 44 4 */
u8 flags; /* 48 1 */

/* XXX 7 bytes hole, try to pack */

void (*approximation)(struct clk_hw *, long unsigned int, long unsigned int *, long unsigned int *, long unsigned int *); /* 56 8 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
spinlock_t * lock; /* 64 8 */

/* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 11 */
/* sum members: 61, holes: 3, sum holes: 11 */
/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};


After:
=====
struct clk_fractional_divider {
struct clk_hw hw; /* 0 24 */
void * reg; /* 24 8 */
u8 flags; /* 32 1 */
u8 mshift; /* 33 1 */
u8 mwidth; /* 34 1 */

/* XXX 1 byte hole, try to pack */

u32 mmask; /* 36 4 */
u8 nshift; /* 40 1 */
u8 nwidth; /* 41 1 */

/* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */

u32 nmask; /* 44 4 */
void (*approximation)(struct clk_hw *, long unsigned int, long unsigned int *, long unsigned int *, long unsigned int *); /* 48 8 */
spinlock_t * lock; /* 56 8 */

/* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 11 */
/* sum members: 61, holes: 2, sum holes: 3 */
};
